A, unlTE STATES PATENT OFFICE.

Be it known that I, ARVEY'L. FISHER, a

eczema the United States, residing at the city of Chicago, in the countyof Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Adding Attachments for Type-Writing Machines,- of whichthefollowing is a description, reference being had to the drawingsforming part of this specification.

My invention has for its object the provision of a simple and efficientadding attachment for typewriting machines, foradding togetherortotalizing the amounts printed upon the pa er in the typewritingmachine, and its nove ty will be hereinafter set forth and particularlypointed out in'my claims.

In the accompanyingdrawings Figure 1' is a'perspective view of atypewriting machine embodying my invention looking at the left alongitudinal vertical section of the machine at the right of the addingattachment, and approximately on the line 2-2 of Fig. 3, and withthefront end of themachine broken away; Fig; 3 a'sectional front elevationof the machine approximately on the line 33 of 2, showing moreparticularly. the mechanism withinthe casing of the adding attachinentandomitting other artsof the machine not connected therewit Fi 3 a"detail of the wheel-resetting devices Fig. 4

The same letters of reference refer to identical parts in the severalviews.

My invention is applicable to. a wide. variety oftyp'e-writing machines,and for convenience of illustration I have selected the .machineheretofore'invented and constructed by me and'illustrated and describedin my ending applications for Letters Patent 0. 693,442 filed October13, 1898;

721,551filedJune 23, 1899; and No. 56,923 filed April 22, 1901. Thegeneral construction and mode of operation of said machine are explainedin detail in said pending applications, and only such description willtherefore be given here as may be necessary we clear understanding of'mypresent invention.

The regular key levers 1 of the machine are fulcrumed at their rear endsat 2, Fig. 2, and/are connected by links 3 to type-bars 4; havingpivotal bearings at their lower ends in plates 5 mounted upon theframework, and carryin at their outer ends the usual types adapte tostrike -upon .the upper forward side of the-platen roller 6. Said rolleris mounted in a paper-carriage frame 7 supported at its forward side bya roller 8 resting and traveling upon the upper edge of a transverse bar9 connecting the opposite sides of the main framework of the machine.The rear side of the paper-carriage frame has secured in it a transverserod .10 which rests and travels upon grooved rollers 1 1 mounted inbearings at the o posite sides of the main frame, 1, 4-an 10, and uponadditional similar ro lers 12 mounted in bearings 13 between the outerrollers 11 1.1, Fig. 2. The paper-carriage is thus free to traveltransver'sely of the machine upon the, rollers 11 12 at its rearsidean'd the track-rail or framebar 9 at its forward side; A metal strap14, Fig. 10, secured at its ri ht handen'd to the paper-carriage frame,an at its left hand end secured to and wound upon a spring drum 15,serves, under the action of said spring drum, to pull the paper-carriagetoward the left, and to moveit in'that direction when permitted by theescapement mechanism.-

I Secured to the under side of the papercarso i No. 706,481 filedFebruary 23, 1899; NO.

riage frame 7 at its rear edge is a rack-bar 16, Figs. 2 and 10, which.meshes with a pinion l7.

' fast upon a vertical shaft or spindle mo" ted in a suitable bearing 18upon the framework and having secured to its lower end an es' capementwheel 19 provided with vertically depending teeth. As the paper-carriageis moved toward the left, under the operations of the keys andspaceebar, the pinion 17 and.

wheel 19 are turned inone direction, and when it is returned to righthand position, preparatory to beginning anew line, they are turned inthe opposite direct-ion.

p The escapernent mechanism of which the wheel 19 forms a part may bethe same as that illustrated and described in my aforesaid pendingapplication No. 706,481, and it will here suifice, for an understandingof my present invention, to say that the escape: ment dog whichcooperates with thewheel 19 is actuated by. an arm 20 test upon arockshait 21 which has fastened to it; at opposite sides of the machine,forwardly projecting arms 22 whose front ends are connected by theuniversal bar 23' underlying the key-- levers 1, so that whenever anyone of said levers is depressed the shaft 21 will he rocked and operatethe e'scapement mechanism and permit the paper-carriage to move one steptoward the left.

turn said dog to normal position when the operated key-lever isreleased. 7

Coming now to an explanation of my present invention, the addingmechanism of my novel attachment is preferably located. at the front ofthe machine and inclosed within a suitable casing s6, li1g. 1, provided111 its upper portion with a transversely extending slot or sightopening 4.? through which the ing, respectivelynriits and tens of cents,and

units, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds ofthousands, millions and tens of millions of dollars, and has anaggregate adding capacity of -S599,999,999.99; but the-number of wheelsin each set, and its consequent adding capacity, may likewise beincreased or decreased as desired. in the present instance only nineWheels in each set inc or l ft hand wheel being merely a i -18 has fastupon. in ,n mesh .rith a wheel upon shaft 5;;

evaoeo each gear wheel 51 is a pawl-carrying lever 53 carrying at itslower end a pawl -54 engaging the teeth of the wheel. Pivoted to theupper end of the pawl-carrier 53' and depending therefrom is a link 55provided at its lower-end with a laterally projecting stud- 56, Fig. 7,extending through a grooved slot 57 in a guideplate 58 secured to therear face of thefront wall of the casing46; A spring 59 connected tothelower end of the linl; 55

pulls the latter upward and forward and yieldingly holds'the parts innormal position, with the stud 56 in the upper; end of the slot 57, 7When the link 55 is drawn downwards, in the manner hereinafterexplained,the pawl-carrier 53 will be rocked uponthe shaft 52 and the pawl 54;caused to advance the gear-wheel '51and connected adding wheel as adistance proportionate to the inovement given the link 55, and when thelatter is released the spring 59 will restore the parts to normalposition.

The link 55 is provided in the rear edge of its lower end with a'reccss60, Fig. 7, adapted to cooperate with a finger 61 projecting forwardlyfrom a thin armor plate 62 which constitutes an actuating device commonto 'the links 55 or. all oi' the adding wheels in the machine, andadapted to be advanced successively from one to another as hereinafterexplained. This actuating device is'loosely mounted at its low er endupon a rod 63 which connects the forward ends of a pair of arms (je'fastupon and projecting forwardly from a rock-shaft 65. The actuating device62 is free to slide lengthwise along the rod 63, but whenever the rod isswung downward, by rocking the shaft 55, the actuating device will hecarried dovmward with it.-

The actuating device 62 is guided in such '105 vertical movement, andis'moved lengthwise of the rod 63, by a connection with a block 66secured to a long rod or'bar 67 movable lengthwise transversely of themachine, Fig. I 1 3. The block has projecting from its forward side anear 6% which carries a stud bolt 69 secured in said ear by a nut 69screwed upon its left hand 'end. The right hand end of'the holt isprovided with a large flat head 69* between which andthe ear 6S theactuating device 62 is guided, said device being provided with alongitudinal slot 70 through which the body f the bolt 69 passes. Tofurther guide the actuating device 62 in itsverticalmovement, and tofacilitate-its free movement lengthwise along the shaft 63, the block 66provided with a. depending curved plate 71 provided with'a slotembracing the rear edge of the lower end of the actuating'device 62,Figs. 3 7, 8 and l).

"T his plate 71 is curved concentrically to the roclnshaftfiS, so thatthe edge of the actuating device will l'JQ confined in tl'ie slot in theplate throughout the vertical movement of the parts,

Asshownin FigJli, the bar 67 which moves the actuatingdevicetransversely of the ma-. chineis supported and guided at its right handend by a grooved sheave 72 and at its leftha'nd end :inthe side plate ofthe-casing 46 and side frame of the main framework of the machine. Ithas a rack formed uponithe upper side of its right hand portion, withwhich rack meshes ,a pinion 73 fast upon a shaft-74. As shown in Fig. 2,this'shaft74 -1s journaled at its forward end in the frameriage; Figs.2, 4, 5 and 6. 1 As the pape'nbarany. des fqa r e 7t riaietravels-toward the left and one of'the rac 'plates 6 engages the pinion75 and turnsit in the direction of the arrows" in Figs. 4 and the pinion73 meshing with the rack-bar 3, will be turned in the same direction andwillmove the said bar to the right with a step by step movementcorresponding to the step by step movementof the paper-carriage ttiwardthe left, and thereby advance the actuating device 62 to position toactuate the. addin wheels in succession.

The-pinion 73 is .pre erably'larger than the plm 75, so as to multiplythe movement trail ted by the i er-carriage to the ran 67-. andactuating device-'62, 'and th them to move in steps of greater le'n hthanthose of the 'paper carria e itself an thus permit'th'e use ofadding wheels of greater width of face and spaced farther apart thanwould otherwisebe possible.

The rack l ates 76 are adjust-able transversel "of t e machine, alongthe forward side. 0 the paper-carriage, and adapted to belocked't-hereto'in their difierentad usted po sitions, ashereafterdescribed, and they may therefore ":e set to engage the pinion 75 atoints in the travel of the paper- The normal posi tion oft-11' parts ofthe adding device is shown in Fig. 3,"with the rack-bar 67 in extremeleft hand 'os'i'tion, and the actuating device 62 at the eftof the lefthand set of adding g actuating links 55. Inasmuch as the shaft 741 andpinion 73 are not turned, to move the rack-bar and actuating devicetoward the right, until in the movement of the paper-carriage toward theleft, one of the rack-plates 76'engages the inion 75 upon the rear endof the shaft 74, it will be understood that by setting the rackwheels Aand their dependin plates 76 toward the righthand end ofthepaper-carriage the adder-actuating device may be ermitted to remainat rest, in normal osition, until the paper-carriage has comp eted a'considerahe portion of its movement toward the left, and. that the see1 e m wps fllet r s 74 audits collar 83, as if thefarmssr were in 13f)ing mechanism, Fig. 3, two arms 77 whose lower ends are connected by atransverse'rod 7 8 adapted to cooperate wit-h cams 79 formed upon orsecured to the adderactuating key-levers. These adder-actuating leversmay consist of a series of-spec'lial' key-1evers, supplemental to theregular key-levers of the ty ewriter, and operated only when it isdesirec to actuate the adding devices, in Y which case the rod 7 8 wouldbe arranged to normally stand. in the path of the cams 79 upon suchlevers, so as to be moved whenever any one of said levers was depressed;

but a subordinate (though important) feature of my-invent-ion consistsin the employ-- ment of the regular figure keys of the'type writer foractuating-the adding devices when desired, and thus dis ensing with theneceskeys. To this end, under the construction and arrangement of the.parts which I have illustrated, the cams '79 are secured to thekey-levers'l of the regular figure keys of the type-writer, and. the rod78 normally stands in front of and out of the path of movement of thecams 79 ,(being yieldingly held in that position by a spring 80) so thatthe key-ls vers and cams may be freely depressed (1n prdinarytypewriting) without affecting the rod 78 and the parts connected withit.

Projecting upward from. the rock-shaft 65 is an arm 81 which carries'atits upper end an anti-friction roller 82, which bears against theforward side of a'collar 83 fast upon the shaft 7 4 heretofore referredto. A spring 84 pulls the arm 81 rearward and when the shaft 74 andcollar 83 are in normal position, as in Figs. 2 and 7, the roller 82rests in a notch 85 formed in the. collar 83. ever the shaft 741isturned from normal position the roller 82 will be forced out of the Whensity of a supplementa series ofspecial adding notch 85 in the collar 83,and the. upper end of the arm 81 thrown forward. lf-the'arin 81 werefast' at its lower end upon the rock' sition shown in Fig. 8-;andithearm 81 may be made fast to the shaft 65 for thispurpose, but Iprefer to provide a loose connection .between the arm and shaft,consisting offa.

short arm 86 fast upon the shaft andalug'87 projecting from the sideof'the arm 81"imn'1er diately in rear of said arm 86. This'connec tionof the arin 81 with the ssh fact directly fastened to" theshaft 65,. but

"65 produces "the shaft permits the rock-shaftand parts connected I mentmechanism of the machine will permit to to he turned on farther inthesame di rec-tron without carrying the arm 81 with (1111111, andthus-obviates idle movement of the arm 81 and the necessityfor'roomtoaccommie-date such movement.

it flloWs from the constructionand arrangement of parts just describedthat whenever, in the movement ofthe papercarriage toward the left, oneof the rackplates 76, Figs. 4 and 5, engages the pinion ,7 5 uponthe'rear end of the shaft 74 the first movement imparted to said pinionand shaft will force the roller 8201' the arm 81 out of the notch 85 inthe collar 83 upon-said shaft and rock the shaft 65 and parts carriedbyit from the position shown in Figs. 2 and? to the position shown inFig. 8; with the result that the rod 78 will be swung rearward into thepath of the earns 79, whilethe rod 63 will be swung downward-to aposition which brings the finger 61 of'the actuating device 62 into thehorizontal plane of the notches 60 in the lower ends of the links 55, inwhich position the finger 61 is free to travel to the right through thenotches in all of the links 55, to actuate the latter in succession inthe manner hereafter explained.

' As shown in Fig. 3 and heretofore stated, in normal position theactuating device 62 stands at the left of the links 55 of all .of theadding wheels, so that in its downward movement from its positionshownin Fig. 7 to that shown in Fig. 8 it passes downward at the left side ofthe extreme left hand link, in -the series; but inasmuch as the samemovement of the paper-carriage which produces the downward movement ofthe actuating device also carries it toward the right the. adding keysis depressed its cam 79 will engage the'rod 78 and rock the. shaft 65 adistance proportionate to the pitch of the cam, with theresult that therod 63 and actuatingdevice 62 will be swung downward a correspondingdistance, carrying with them the particular link 55 with whosenotch 6Othelinger 61 is at the time engaged, and

- thereby actuatev the corresponding adding wheel through'the medium ofthe connected pawl-carrier 53, pawl and gear-wheel 51. The finger 61 W11remain locked in engage- .ment with the link 55 at the end of thedownward movement of the parts, but upon the release of the operatedkey-lever the escape.

the paper earriage to advance one step ward the left, which movementwill carry;

actuating device ,62'one step toward the right and withdraw its'finger'61 from on ga ement with the notchinthe depressed linr 55, therebyreleasing the latter and permitting its spring 59 to restore it and thepawl-carrier and pawl to normal position. The same movement ofthe-pap,er-carr 1age whieh'withdraws the finger of the actuatin devicefrom engagement with the depresse link carries said finger to the'rightbeneath and in line with the next'succeeding link 55 in the series, andas the return of the operated key-lever permits the spring 80 to restorethe vparts to the position shown in Fig. 8 the finger 61, in the upwardmovement of the actuating device, Wlll engage the beveled surface 88' ofthe link 55 beneath its notch 60 and force the lower end of the linkrearward until the linger 61 clears such surface and comes opposite thenotch 60 (a rearward extension of the upper end .of the slot 57 in theguide plate 58 permitting such rearward movement-of the lower end of thelink 55,) whereu on the sprin 59 will swing the lower endof the link 55orward againand engage its notch with the. finger 61. Upon nowdepressing another addingkey the newly engagedlink 55 will be carrieddownward by the finger of the actuating device and its connected addingwheel be turned a distance corresponding to the pitch of the cam 7 9upon such key, and so on until all the wheels in the set have beenactuated,

it will be understood that the cams 79 upon the adding keys are variedin pitch, to produce differential movements of the adding devices from 1to 9; and to prevent overthrow or excess movement of the rod 78 andparts moved by it, due to any violent depres sion of an adding key, thecams terminate at their upper rear ends in. slots which fit the rod 78,so that at the end of the downward movement of the key-levers the rod islocked in theupper endof said slot, as shown in Fig. 9, and furthermovement of it prevented.

Likewise the notch-arithfnrger engagement of described.

As will he understood from the foregoing description, the initialmovement imparted I Y to the shaft 74- by the rack-plate upon the keyswill cause the amounts represented -.by said keys ,to be added upon theseveral heels of the adding device. "Ifan adding .be depressedimmediately after the parts are thus thrown into operative condition(without further movement of the'papercarriage toward the I left andconsequent movement of the adder-actuating device toward the right) theamount represented by such key will be added upon the adding wheeloperated by the extreme left hand. link 55, which in the presentinstance operates the adding wheel representing millions of dollars; butbymoving the carriage onto the left, without first operating any addingkey, the actuating device may be brou ht" into position to actuate theadding-wires ,of any lower denomination at thefirst operation of anadding key, andthereafter the adding wheels of still lower denominationswill be actuated in succession, by'successive depressions of addingkeys, in the manner before explained.

. The paper-carriage may be moved to position to print in'the desired.denominational column on the paper, (and the adder-actuating device becoincidently moved to p0Si tion to actuate" the adding wheel ofcorresponding denomination at the first depression of an addingkey,) byspacing the earriage along with the usualspacing bar, or by moving itdirectly by hand to such position; but an important feature of myinvention consists inthe combination of a tabulating mechanism with theadding devices, in such a manner that upon operating the tabulating"mechanism the papencarriage will be advanced to position to begin theprinting in the desired denominational column upon the paper, and theadder-actuating device be simultaneously moved to position to actuatethe adding wheel ofcorresponding; denomi nation, so that upon thendepressing an add-' ,ing key, without any further preparation or.-manipulation, the value of such key will be printed in the properdenominational column upon the paper and added upon the adding heel. Afurther important feature of my invention in this respect istheemployment of a tabulatin g'mechanism embodying adjustable. stop deviceswhereby if, a single column. of figures is to be printed upon the paperthe position ofrsuchrcolumnmay be determined as desired by theadjustment of '60 such devices, and whereby if a plurality of columns offigures is to be printed upon the.

paper the positions of all of said columns maybe; determinedindependently of each otherb'y the adjustment of said devices; and.

the combination of such a tabulating mechanism with the addingmechanism'in such manner and by such means that if a single column offigures is to be printed it may be printed in any desired position-uponthe paper andthe several amountsbe nevertheless added upon the addingwheels, and that if a plurality of columns of figures is'to be printedthe several amounts in each column may be added upon the correspondingset ofadding wheels regardless of the positions of the columns upon thepaper. '1 acployment of the adjustable rack-plates 76 for turnin theshaft 74, and their combination, throng the medium of the paper-carriae, with a tabulating mechanism such as reing the positions 0 the columnsto be printed upon the paper which may be adjusted in coerdination withthe adjustable rack-plates upon the paper-carriage, so that by adjustingsaid stop devices and rack-plates incorrespondence with each other asingle column of upon the paper and the several amounts therein be addedupon the adding wheels, or .a plurality of columns .of figures beprinted paper and the amounts in the several columns be added upon thecorresponding sets. of

adding wheel's.

As shown in Figs. 2, 4,=5c.and 6 the rackplates? 6 are hung upon and areadjustable lengthwise of a graduatedbar QO-seoured to the front of andextending longitudinally along the paper carriage frame 7. The plates 76are in the present instance composed of vertical frontportion's,ihorizontal top.'p0r tions, and-rear dependin flanges 91extending downward behind tie bar 90, and are provided at their upperedges with thumbpieces 92'by which-they may be rocked upon the'upperedge of the bar Their top portions are confined in a guideway 90 formedbetween the upper edge 'of the bar 90 and the depending edge of a curvedplate 93 also secured to the front side of the papercarriage frame 7 theplate93 and bar 90 being spaced apart by. posts 94 to the front ends ofwhich the bar 90 is secured, Figs. 2 and 5. A curved spring 95 isconfined between th'eupper edge of the bar 90 and the top, of each ofthe rack-plates, and serves to press the latter backward and hold itstop against the edge of the plate 93. The lower edge of the bar 90 isprovided with notches, or teeth, corresponding'to those of the paper-Inot hes or teeth upon the upper edge of,.a locking plate 96 secured tothe inner facefof 2, 5 and '6,-'a nd in the present instance die loweredge of said locking plate 96 is rol vided with rack-teeth coincidentwith t ose I scribed, embodyin stop devices for determinfigures may beprinted in any desired position I in any desired relative position uponthe complish these desirable results by the emcarriage escapemen't-rack16, Fig. -10, and 7 ada ted to beengaged-by corresponding;

the rack-plate-76nea1 its lower edge, Fiqsa upon the lower edge of theplate 76, so that it constitutes witht-he latter a rack of double widthto cooperate with the pinion 75.

Under the above described construction the rack-plates 76 may be readilyadjusted lengthwise of the bar 90 and locked thereto in their diiierentadjusted positions. The cooperation of the spring 95 and the edge of thecurved plate 93 with the horizontal top of the rack-plate 76 serves toyieldingly hold the latter in either its inner or outer position, sothat when swung outward, by pressing its thumb-piece 92 rearward, itwill be yieldingly held in outer position and main tained'out ofcooperative relation with the pinion 75, and when it is swung inward itwill likewise be maintained in its inner position and securely locked tothe-bar 90, ready to cooperate with the pinion .7 5.

By adjusting the rack-plate 76 along the bar 90 to positionscorresponding to those in which the stops'of the tabulator mechanisnl(hereinafter described) 'may be set, the

rack-plate 76 may be caused to cooperate pinion 75 in. such a mannerthat. the operationot the tabular mechanism will. not only serve toadvance the paper-carwith the riage to position to printin the-desireddenominational column, but will throw the adding devices into operativeposition or.

condition, and advance the adder-actuating device to positionvto'actuate theadding wheel of corresponding denomination. Thus,assuming for purposes of illustration that it be desired to print twocolumns of figures upon the paper-the first with its figure of highestdenomination at the space 12, and the second with its highest figure atthe space 62-and add the amounts printed in the two columns upon the twosets of adding wheels shown: The two raok plates 7 6 will be adjustedupon the bar 90 to the gradnations 42 and 62, as shown in Fig. i, andlocked thereto in the manner described. The first stop or" thetabulating mechanism will be likewise adjusted to arrest the papercarriage ill-position to print the figure of highest denomination in thefirst column at the space 42 and the second stop will be adjusted tocause the highest figure in the second column to be printed at the space62, as shown in Fig. 10 and hereinafter de scribed. I

In Figs. 4 and 10 the paper-carriage is shown in about middle position,so that if a type-key were operated it would print at the space 40 uponthe paper. ure of highest denomination in the first column to be printedat the space 42, therefore, the paper carriage must be moved two spacesto the left, and upon moving it two spaces to the left the firstrack-plate 76 will be carried from the position shown in Fig. 4

to that shown in Fig. 5 and caused-to engage the pinion 75 and turn itto the position To cause the fig-.

era -so shown in the latter figure. To facilitate this initialengagement of the rack and pinion the latter is provided with tooth c ofextra size which normally stands in vertical position in the path of therack-plate. The turning of the pinion, and consequently of theshal't 74,

to the position shown in Fig. 5, will, as heretofore explained, serve toforce the roller oi the arm 81 out of the notch 85 of the collar 83 uponthe shaft 74., Fig-s2, 7 and 8,.and throw the adder actuating devicesfrom the position shown in Fig. 7 to that shown in Fig. 8. If thepaper-carriage be arrested at the space 42 bythe tabulator stop (as itwill be it the tabulator key oi highest denomination be operated)theadder-actuating device will be thereby set to position to actuate theadding wheel of highest denomination in the first set (i. highest withthe exception of theaccumulating wheel at the extreme left of said set)and upon then dopressing any one of the adding keys the amountrepresented by it will be added on such wheel and be printed upon thepaper at the space 42; and upon successive depressions of the addingkeys the paper-carriage will be advanced step by step toward the leftand the rack-plate '76, meshing with the pinion 75willadvance theraclr-bar 67 and adderactuati-ng device 62 step by step toward theright, so that as each succeeding adding'key is depressed the amountrepresented by it will be printed in the corresponding denominationalcolumn and added upon the adding wheel of the same denomination. If,however, the first tabulator key depressed. be one of intermediatedenomination the papercarriage will be'permit tedto travel furthertoward the left than indicated in Fig. 5, before being arrested by thetabulator stop, and the racli plate 76 will come into mesh with theregular teeth of the pinion 75 and turn the same and the shaft 7 4 farenough to carry the actuating device to the right into position toactuate the adding wheel of corresponding denomination at the firstdepression of an-adding key. So, it the tabulator key representing thedecimal point be the one depressed the papercarriage will move to theleft to position for printing the decimal point in the column offigures, and the rack-plate 76 will turn the pinion 7 5 and the shaft 74far enough to bring the adderactuating device 62 into the space betweenthe links 55 of the units of dollars adding wheel and the tens of centsadding wheel, Fig. 3,.so that upon then operating the type keyrepresenting the decimal point or period, to print the decimal point inthe column of figures, the adder-actuating'deviee will be simplyadvanced one step further toward the right and engaged. with the link 55of the-tens of cents adding wheel, ready to actuate that wheel upon thedepression. of the next'adding key. This will still leavethe' raek piate7% in mesh with the to the rigli't'bfthe rack-plate, and the notch 35 inith'e collar 83 upon the shaft 7 twill be simultaneously broughtopposite the roller "'82upon the arm 81 again, and the springs 80 Iparts tothe position. shownrinFigs. 2 and 7 This completes the and 84will"restore the printing of an amount in the first column and the addmgof it uponthe adding wheels of the -first'set, and the parts come torest with the adding mechanism out of cooperative relation with thefigure keys of the typewriter and'the'y remain out of cooperativerelation with each other until the pa er-carriage is moved onward to theleft ar enough to bring the second or right hand into engagement withthe pinion 75, whereupon the adding devices will be again thrown intocooperative relation withthe figure keys of the-typewriter, ready for anamount to be printed in the second column of figures and added upon thesecond setof adding Wheels.

Upon returning the paper-carriage to right hand position each of theracks 76 will turn the pinion 75 backward a completerevolution,.which.will serve to return the rack-bar 67 andadder-actuating device to extreme left hand or normal position. I

Any known or suitable tabulating mechanism employing. adjustable stopdevices for the paper-carriage may be employed in combination with mynovel adding devices and cooperate therewith in the manner and for thepurpose and with the results above described. For purposes ofconvenience, and because actually employed by me, I have chosen forillustration in the accompanying drawings the tabulating mechanismcovered by my pending application No. 56,923,

which for the purposes of the present case may be described as follows:The construction of the escapement mechanism of the machine illustratedin the drawings is such, as fully explained in my aforesaid pendingapplication No. 706,481, that if the arm 20 which actuates theescapement dog (Fig. 2) be given an abnormal forward movement theescapement dog operated by said arm will be carried inside of andentirelyout of engagement with the escapement wheel 19, and thepaper-carriage be thereby released and per mitted to move toward theleft until arrested by the stop devices of the tabulating mechanismhereinafter described. The means provided for giving the arm 20 suchextreme keys 25, which are fulcrumed at their rear forward movementconsists of the tabulator ends at 26 and at their forward ends haveconnected to them the lower ends of vertlcal rack-plate 76 rods or stems27 which carry at their upper ends the finger-buttons 2S bearing numbersand characters indicating the denominational values of the respectivelevers. Each of saidlevers is provided, toward its rear end, with anupwardly extending hooked arm 29 adapted to engage a cross-rod 29connecting the'side arms 22 of the universal bar 23 which operates theescapement mechanism as before described, and the adjustment of theparts is such that whenever any oneof the tabulator levers 25 isdepressed to its limit of movement its hooked arm 29 will swing theframe composed of the side/arms 22 and uni- 'versal bar 23 aconsiderable distance further than it is depressed'by the operations ofthe regular type-levers 1, with the result that the upper end of the arm20 will be thrown forward beyond its normal limit of movement and theescapement dog he thereby entirely disengaged from the wheel 19, so thatthe papercarriage will be Wholly released and left free to be drawn tothe left by its spring as before explained.

' Secured to the upper rear side-of the papercarriage frame 7, near itsmiddle, and projecting rearwardly therefrom is a bracketplate 30, whichin the present instance carries at its upper rear end a trip for thestriker of the alarm bell 31, Figs. 2 and 10. Se-

cured to the upper side of this racket-plate 30 is a graduatedcontact-pie e 32 adapted to cooperate with stops 33 mounted upon andadjustable longitudinally of a rock-shaft- 34 which is mounted atitsopposite ends in bearings upon the framework and surrounded at its righthand end, Fig. 10, with a coiled spring 34 connected at one end to theshaft and at its opposite end to the framework, which spring serves toyieldingly hold the shaft in and return it to normal position. Thegraduated contact-piece 32 is curved in cross section concentrically tothe rock-shaft 34, Fig. 2, and is provided upon its left hand side oredge with a series of steps or shoulders 11 arranged in retreating orderfrom leftto right and from front to rear, Fig. 10, and forming a seriesof contact surfaces separated from each other by the length of a regularletter-space movement of the papercarriage. These steps or shoulders acorrespond in number to the tabulator key-levers 25 and are adapted tocooperate with the stops 33 up'on the rock-shaft 34 When said shaft isin normal position the stops 33 stand above the plane of and out; of'thepath of movement of the contact piece 32, as shown in Fig. 2, sothat the paper-carriage is free'to be moved in either direction withoutregard to said stops. When, however, the shaft 34 is turned a greater orless distance in the dishoulders a upon the contact piece 32, so

that if the paper-carriage be then permitted to move toward the left itwill be arrested by the contact ofthe piece with the first stop 33standing in its path. The several tabulator key-levers 25 are arrangedto cooperate with the rock-shaft 34 in such manner as to turn the latterdifferent degrees of distance according to the different denominationalvalues .of such levers, with the result that when any givenlever isoperated the shaft into line with the corresponding shoulder or contactsurface 0 upon the contact piece 32. enough to carrythe stops 33 intoline with the right hand and rearmost shoulder or contact surface athepaper-carriage will be permitted a maximum movement to the left beforebeing arrested by the first stop standing in the path of said contactpiece; while if the shaft is turned so as to carry the rtops 33 into thepath of some one of the shoulders a at the left of the one mentioned thepapercarriage will be arrested at an earlier point in its movementtoward the left. There are in the present instance, as shown in Fig. 1,eight tabulator keys, which may be taken to represent, respectively, adecimal point or period and different denominations of value from units;to millions, reading in regular order from right to left; and thegraduated contact piece 32 ,is provided with ei ht stops or shoulders acorresponding in re ative position or order with the eight tabulatorkeys. As will be understood from the foregoing 35 explanation, wheneverany one of the tabulator keys is operated. the rock-shaft 34 will be soturned as to carry the stops 33 into line with the.correspondingshoulder ct upon the graduated contact piece 32, and inasmuch as 40 theoperation of such tabulator key will also serve (as before explained) todisengage the escapement mechanism and release the paper carriage, theresult will be that the latter will be drawn to. the left by its springuntil ar rested by contact of one of the stops 33 with the shoulder ainto line with which the stops 33 have been carried, which shoulder awill be the one corresponding to the particular tabulator key which hadbeen operated, and

'50 the paper-carriage will consequently be arrested at a point forprinting to be effected in the denominational column of figurescorresponding to the tabulator .key which has been operated.

betweenthe tabulator keylevers 25and the rock-shaft 34 for causing theoperations oftthe difierent' keys to turn the shaft different de-' greesproportionate to the denominational values or. positions of the keys areas follows (Fig. 2) :-A rock-shaft 35 journaled at its cp positeends inbearings upon the framework is provided upon its .under side with adependin -plate or Wing 36 whose lower edgeis incline upwardly from theright toward the will be turned to a point to bring the stops If therock-shaft 34 be turned just far In the present instance theconnections.

left of the machine and adapted to cooperate "Wlllll: a series ofgraduated cams 37 formed upon the upwardly extending rear ends 38 ofthe'tabulat-or key-levers 25. It follows from this construction that theoperations of the different levers will impart different degrees ofmovement to the rock-shaft 35, and the construction and adjustment ofthe parts are such that the movement thus given the shaft by theoperation of each tabulator key will correspondto the denominationalvalue or position of such key. The shaft 35 has secured upon its righthand end, Fig. 2, a vertically ext-ending arm 39 whose upper end isconnected by a link 40 with an arm 41 fast upon and projecting forwardlyfrom the rock shaft 34, Figs. 2 and 11. hen the shaft 35 is rocked bythe operation of any. tabulator'key the upper end of the arm 39 carriedby said shaft will be swung rearward, and, through the medium of thelink 40and arm 41, will turn the shaft 34 in the direction of the arrowin Fig. 2 and swing the stops 33 downward and forward into line with theshoulder or'contact surface a on the contact piece 32 which correspondsto the operated tabulator key, with the result that the paper-carriage,as it moves toward the left, will be arrested in position for theprinting to be efiected in the corresponding denominational column.

The steps 33 are adjustable longitudinally of the rock-shaft 34, and thelatter is provided with a suitable scale, Fig. "10, so that they may beset to cause the printing to be effected in columns located in ,anydesired position transversely of the sheet of paper. Two of the stops 33are shown upon the rock-shaft 34, by the adjustment of whichlongitudinally of the shaft the positions of the columns to be printedare determined. In the present instance the means for readily adjustingthe stops "lengthwise of the shaft and securing them thereto in adjustedposition are shownin Figs. 12, 13, 14 and 15,

where it will be seen that the rock-shaft 34 is provided upon its rearside w th a longitudinal groove a whose lower wall is formed into or hassecured to it a rack b. The stops 33 project from disks 42 mounted uponthe shaft 34 and formed integral with hubs or sleeves 43, Fig. 12. Eachsleeve 43 has a screw 0 passed radially through it and projecting at itsinner end into the groove (1 in the rock-shaft 34, Figs. 14 and 1.5. Byturning the sleeve 43 in one direction upon the rock-shaft the inner endof the screw 0 may be engaged with the rack 12, Fig. 14, and

,thereby lock the sleeve from longitudinal movement on the shaft, whileby turning the sleeve in the opposite direction the screw projection maybe disengaged from the rack and carried into the free portion of thegroove, as in Fig. 15, to permit the sleeve to be adjustedlongitudinally along the shaft. The sleeves pieces 44 for turning them,while a spring 45. shown in Fig. 13.. serves to yieldingly hold theparts in-normal position with the screw pro-- -nomination is operatedthe-paper carriage tion showninFig. v5, and thereby thrown the v thevfirst set of Wheels. amount'has. been printed in the first column uponthe paper, and added upon the first set being employed for eachadditional set of 1 description, a typewriter equipped with my cilityandadvantage in the making out of is desired to write certain memoranda atthe the shaft the sleeveja'ncl parts secured to it are turned, a ainstthe resistance of the "left and be then arrested by thefirst stop inposition for the printingto beeifected at the and advance'dthe actuatingdevice 62 to po sitiontofactuate the proper adding wheel in p ingmechanism described, an additional rack- 4 3 are provided with milledcollars or thumb jection. c" engaged with the rack 71 in the r0okshaf t,as in Fig.14.

In Fig. 'IO-the two stops 33 are shown adjusted to positions42 and62upon rockshaft, in correspondence with the, adjustment of therack-plates 76. shown in Fig. 4, so that when the tabulatorkeyof'highest dewill be released andvmoved' two spaces to the space 42upon-the paper; and-this movementof the paper-carriage will have carriedthe first rack-plate 7 6 into engagement with the pinion 75 and turnedthe latter to the posiadding mechanism and its, operating keys into"cooperative relation with each other,

After i the desired of adding wheels, the operation of a second tabulator key-will advance the paper-carriage' still furtherto the left andbring the second rack 76 into engagement with the .era'tiverelation witheach other and moving arranged'to be-actuated by the single actuatplate76 and an additional tabulator stop 33 addmgwheels as will be readilyunderstood. As will be understood from the foregoing invention may beemployed with great fabills and invoices, or in other Work where itbe'ghming of the line, and then carry out an amount, or a plurality ofamounts, in a column or hand end of the line, and add up such column orcolumns. With a machine equi ped with my invention this is accomplishewith the isamefacility that ordinary tabulated work (without addition)hasheretofore been done,

on machines equip ed with tabulatingate t'achments, and in t e samemanner. That is to say, in order to both print and add up columns offigures on a machine equipped with my invention, it isv simplynecessary, after writing the desired memoranda at the beginning. of theline, to press the proper .tabulator key to advance thepaper-carriage tothe desired denominational position in a given column, and to thenoperate the figure or addingkeys to print the desired-amount in suchcolumn and simultaneously add it upon the corresponding set of addingwheels.

When it is' desired to use the machine solely as a typewriter, and'leavethe adding mechanism entirely out of operation, it is simply necessaryto throw the lower ends of the rack-plates 76 outward by pressing thethumb-pieces at their upper ends rearward, whereupon they. will clearthe. pinion 75 during the movement of the paper-carriage .in bothdirections and the adding mechanism be left entirely at rest. In suchcase the 'tabulator maybe used independently of the adding mechanism.

In the present instancelI" have employed the regular figure keys ofwriter for all purposes; but I have left the not only standard key-board'of' the machine un-' changed, and utilized the letter 1' key forprinting and adding units-.(prgviding it with a cam79 for the latterpurpose, Fig. 3) and the letter 0 key for=pr1nting ciphers. Should it bedesired, however, to have all of the add'' ing keys in a single rowat-the rear of the keyboard a units adding key-may be added at the lefthand end of the row and a cipher key at the right hand end, [nd thestandard key-board be to this extent changed.

In the present instance I have shown the pinion 75 provided with tenteeth besides its large tooth c, and'each rack-plate with eleven teeth,so that after the rack-plate has engaged said large toothand turned"thepinion'" tar enough to throw the adding devices into operativeposition (Figs. 5 and 8) the'engagement of the remaining teeth of therack and pinion, as the rack moves on to the left, will move theadder-actuating device 62 eleven" steps toward the right before the racklets go 0f the inion and completes its revolution. This wi I serve tonot only disengage the device 62 from the right hand-actuating link 55,but willmove it two steps beyondsuch" link before it comes to rest. Thispermits of plurality of columns at the right the typea wider spacebeing.left 'betweenftlieiright hand link 55 of the first orileft han setof adding wheels and the left-handlihk' of'the right hand set, and aconsequent-wider sepamechanism, for causing so ration ofthe two sets ofadding wheels, than if the rack and pinion had a less number of teeth.By increasing the size of, the pinion and the number of teeth or it andthe rack a still further separation of the two sets of adding wheels maybe provided for if desired.

Under the particular arrangement of arts illustrated and described theadding w eels are directly actuated by the downward or will beunderstood that by reversing the pos1- tlons of'the actuating pawls 54the adding wheels mi ht be actuated at the return mo-vement of t e partsunder the action of the i5 vsprings 59, after the operated keys were released. Again, insteadof actuating the adding wheels either directly andpositively by- "the operating keys, or indlrectlyiin the manner lastdescribed, the operating keys may be employed simply for the purpose ofsetting the actuating pawls and connected parts, and. independentmeanssuch as the return of the paper-carriage to righti hand position orthe operation of theljine 'spacing mechanismbe employed to return thepawls to initial plosition and" actuate the adding wheels. nder eitherof the latter arrangements pro- "vision may readily be, made forcorrecting errors before the amounts have been actually added u on theadding wheels; but where the ad din'g wheels are actuated directly'bythe adding keys, as illustrated, provision for such correction may alsobe made by mounting the adding Wheels upon the rod of a swinging bail,instead of upon the fixed shaft 49, so as i be swung out to permit theadding wheels to of gear with the wheels 51 when it i desired to makecorrectlons', such corrections being then readily made by mserting a e11or pencil or other instrument "through e sight opening 47 and directlyturning any of the adding wheels as required, Any suitable handleexterior to the casing and connected to such swinging bail may beemployed for temporarily swinging the adding wheel out of mesh with thegears 51 to permit such corrections. Any suitable'transfer devices.orcarrying the complete revolution of each adding wheel to advance thenext higher wheel one number, may be employed, that which I haveillustrated in Figs. 2, 7, 8 and 9 consisting'of transfer pawls 100carried by levers 101 fulcrumed at their lower ends at 102 and havingconnected to their upper them forward against stops 104. The pawls 100engage the gears 51 which mesh with the pinions on the adding wheels 48,and each gear 51 is provided, upon its left hand side with four euidistant lugs 105 adapted to cooperate wit am surfaces 106 upon thlevers 101. There are ten teeth in each of the adding wheel pinions 50and forty teeth in 55 each of the gears 51, so that each quarter 'endssprings 103 tending to draw revolution of a gear 51 turns thecorresponding adding wheel a complete revolution. The levers 101 areinterposed between the adjacent gear wheels 51, and the cam surface 106of each lever cooperates with the lugs 105 of the gear wheel at theright of the lever, while the pawl carried by such lever engagestheteeth of the gear wheel at the left of the lever, i. e. the next highergear positive strokes of the adding keys; but it wheel in the series;and at each quarter revolution of the gear wheel at the right of thelever one of the lugs on said gear wheel engages the cam surface 106 ofthe lever and forces it backward, and retracts the pawl 100 over, thegear wheel at the left .of the lever and causes it to engage a freshtooth thereon, and the lug 105 then clears-the cam surface 106 andpermits the spring 103 to pull the upper end of the lever 101 forwardagainst the stop 104, and thereby causes the pawl 100- to advance'itsgear wheel one tooth and the connected adding w'heeione number, toeffect the transfer.

For the purpose of returning the adding wheels to zero or initialposition when desired, the shaft 49 upon which the'wheels are mounted isprovided with a longitudinal groove, shown in Fig. 3, adapted to 006erate with spring-pressed pawls 48 carrier by the adding wheels. Thewheels are free to turn upon the shaft in the direction of the arrow mFig. 3 but when the shaft itself is turned in that direction itslongitudinal groove will engage the pawls of all the wheels, in whateverposition they may be, and there- 100 by cause a complete revolution ofthe shaft to pick up all the adding wheels and turn, them to zero. Theshaft 49 is provided upon its left hand end with a milled thumb piece49* by which'it may be turned for this purose. Having thus fullydescribed my invention, 1 claim; l
